For optimal Wi-Fi performance, tilt the antennas so that they are at a 90 degree angle to the surface. 6 Chapter 2: Set up Your Synology Router Position Your Synology Router For optimal performance, it is recommended to position the Synology Router as advised below: • On a stable surface (e.g. an elevated shelf) away from any possible physical interruptions. • Close to the center of the area where the wired/wireless client devices are placed, and within a visible distance from the wireless devices. • In a position where few walls and ceilings are between your Synology Router and its client devices. • Away from any potential electrical signal sources, such as other Wi-Fi routers, 3G/4G bases, and microwave ovens. • Away from large expanses of metal or other materials, such as metal doors, glass panels, and concrete. Place Flat on a Surface Simply place the Synology Router flat on a horizontal, stable surface. Connect to Your Synology Router 1 Use the included network cable to connect your Synology Router (at the WAN1 port) to the ISP modem, and connect wired devices to your Synology Router (at the LAN1-4 ports) with network cables. Note: If you wish to use Smart WAN, connect your Synology Router (at the WAN1 and LAN1 ports) to the ISP modem with network cables. The remaining LAN ports will be available for wired devices. 7 Chapter 2: Set up Your Synology Router 2 Connect one end of the power adapter to the power port on your Synology Router, and the other end to the power outlet.
